The Wheeling Natural Gas Com
pany, of Pittsburg, has lately been
conducting some experiments with its
weaker wells to see what the result Of
deeper drilling would be. The original
depth of the we'll was from 200 to
2, 200 feet, where the third sand Is found
At depth of about 1900 feet there
began to be signs of another sand, and
q few more plunges Of the drill tapped
the rock. The gas blew out with such
force that the tools would not 60 down
any longer, and drilling was stopped.
A careful test Of the first we'll showed
q pressure of over 600 pounds, which Il
nearly a. much a. the largest Of the
famous Grapeville wells. Three OF
four other wells, when put down to the
fourth sand, showed the same result
The lucky find il new sand $50 feet
below the old gas producing streak
And 1t promises to not only double the
production of the Hickory district, but
also to throw new light on the gas de-
velopments In other fields.-Erchangt

The Kansas Farmer, published at
Topeka, has been enlarged to 0O-page
sO-column paper, and reduced in price
to one dollar year. It ranks among
the best agricultural papers in the
country and for Kansas farmers 1t is
the best because 1t Is made up specially
for them. 1t is now twenty-four years
old, is conducted by practical farmers.
AM published wholly in the interest
of agriculture in the broadcast sense OF
the word. The Farmer publishes full
crop, stock and weather reports Of the
entire State seven times year. 1t
also publishes, weekly list Of all the
estray animals taken up In any part OF
the State. We have arrangements
whereby we can offer the REGISTER
and the Kansas Farmer, both papers
one year for s.. 80. This Is an Opportun.
ity to get two needed papers for q very
small outlay.

A LIFETIME

years, would bring every individual
to an end in the midst of his usefulnes
to himself, the community In which
